This is a heads up for everyone in Birmingham / going to the Birmingham International Comic Show on the week of the 12th/14th of October.

As you know, me and Dan will be unveiling Hope Falls at the show, but we've decided to go one better.

Markosia have teamed up with the BICS to provide a Launch Party on the Friday night at the Cotton Club, Birmingham, from 7.30pm until incredibly late.

Events during the night include the launch of the convention, the launch of the book and Michael Wright and Nachie Castro's (that's right, the two DC Editors attending) band SKELTER will be performing, plus a very special set by a Mystery Celebrity Band..

And of course there will be the opportunity to buy a Hope Falls 'goodie bag' before ANYONE ELSE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD as this will be the first time that the comic has ever been seen in it's finished format!

We also have a free buffet, by the way.

How can you come to this? Well, the party is by invite only - all registered professionals and exhibitors will get an invite by default, and, depending on numbers, pre-registered attendees will be receiving invites on a first come basis. So book your tickets now!

And of course Dan and I have an entourage allowance :-)

This is a party in line with the old Graphiti parties of San Diego, with a setting straight out of the 1930's. A great way to start the convention, with a dance floor, lounge, smoking terrace and a VIP room, and room for over five hundred people.
